Disease prevalence in US states before & after vaccine introduction 🧪 From Edward Tufte & graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d...
“.. ‘They'll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people,’ he told the reporter ..” @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/09/04/e...
Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.
🚨 ☎️ 🚨 ☎️ FLOOD THE ZONE!! We are 2 GOP votes short of the House votes needed for the discharge petition to release the full Epstein file. Two votes. So…you know what to do. With calls and emails! Then share this. To find the GOP member of Congress nearest you, go here: house.gov
Reporters, I beg you, please stop using headlines with the form “Trump does X” when X is something the president clearly lacks any legal authority to do.
Today's bulletin is a must read: www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...
Did you ever imagine in your life that a Kennedy would act so disrespectfully of senators and to the American people? I did not. Did you ever imagine that someone who IS NOT A DOCTOR & who doesn’t believe in science & experts would be head of HHS? I did not. I’m beyond…
What is happening www.axios.com/2025/09/04/e...
@govpritzker.illinois.gov - please consider doing this too
BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul is set to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid-19 vaccines to anyone who requests them, regardless of age or underlying conditions.
It was a bit terrifying to watch RFK Jr who is not a doctor or trained in public health think he knows more than the AMA and Association of Pediatricians.
A coverup is happening. If you promised to redact every Republican from the Epstein files, you are engaged in a conspiracy— one that I could argue rises to the level of obstruction of justice and obstruction of Congress.
Jones on Blanche/Maxwell Interview: That kind of interview is worthless... The only person it was worth anything to was Maxwell — in order to get herself moved to a less secure prison, a camp, and potentially to position herself for clemency or a pardon.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will “redact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats. He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security “to keep her mouth shut.”
Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."
Rep. Massie dropped a bomb: Billionaire John Paulson, top GOP donor, bankroller of the Speaker, and Trump’s campaign, is in Epstein’s black book. This is why they’re terrified of a full release. The truth won’t just expose Epstein. It will expose the powerful who enabled him.
They are privatizing Medicare, which means they will profit off denial of coverage. Say no to the GOP or face loss of insurance.
That is an awfully long time for these soldiers to be away from their families and jobs all so they can be props in Trump's made for tv authoritarianism show
Removing a dictatorship is much harder than preventing one. substack.com/@garrykaspar...
Brava @subhousewife.bsky.social!! 👏👏👏👏 So grateful for your and the fellow protesters’ and neighbors’ efforts!! ❤️ THANK YOU! NO to Rhodes. NO to Three Headed Eagle Alliance and their fascist-condoning Pints & Politics. NO to Eagle Brook Country Club for hosting these ridiculous alt-right events.
Due to public pressure, the country club canceled this event. We will be there to protest wherever he speaks. Yesterday, people protested outside the club and the neighbors were very supportive. This man is not permitted to be in Washington DC & received an 18 year sentence until he was set free.
So glad you did! This THEA group has got to go meet somewhere else. Arcada Theatre where Charlie Kirk spoke? Wildfire restaurant- anti mask restaurant? Luau Coffee - also anti mask at the height of covid. I have never been back to those businesses since 2020.
Everyone has been given a talent from GOD to use for his glory! You can: serve in your church,pray for others,visit the elderly,give monetary gifts, and encourage people. #ThursdayThoughts

Thank you for this, Dawn. I have never gotten COVID and intend to continue to take precautions and be vaccinated from it.

Note to self. When you have several people applying for the same job...don't hire the one who is a heroin addict, has had part of their brain eaten by a worm...and is artificially the color of an old penny that's been sitting in the back of a desk drawer for 40 years. Just don't.
Americans are ok with continuing to sacrifice their children for many things- lust for guns, for example.
No. I thought Americans would stop before sacrificing the health of their children on the altar of their resentment.
WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?
This RFK hearing is bonkers. Even Republicans are yelling at RFK. Too bad they didn’t do this a year ago.
Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society
America, 2025
Man, they REALLY don’t want to hang that plaque honoring the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6. @acyn.bsky.social
More totally normal presidential family stuff This is a different billion-dollar windfall from Monday's multi-billion-dollar windfall
🚨BREAKING: Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.
There was a local protest about Insurrectionist Stewart Rhodes appearance at the Country Club, and now the Club told the GOP group that they will need to host it somewhere else, not the club.
For all we know one of these smugglers could have taken his 10 year old child in the boat with him. Etc.
How far down the rabbit hole do you have to be to declare Jonas Salk an enslaver for inventing the polio vaccine?
What if an innocent child or adult was onboard this vessel?! Insanity.
1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️
Not my 🎪 , not my 🤡.
When a felon sentenced to 18 years in prison got pardoned by DJT, where does he come an speak? Chicago suburb next door, Geneva, Illinois. 😡 Eaglebrook Country Club no less! Yes, there will be protests.
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
“The elders were wise. They knew that man's heart, away from nature, becomes hard; they knew that lack of respect for growing, living things, soon led to lack of respect for humans, too." -Chief Luther Standing Bear, Oglala Sioux chief
Trump had 8 fighter jets flyover the #Epstein survivor conference, interrupting them mid speech. #opdeatheaters
youtu.be/4OAAJwnMNRQ Friends, please listen to this quick clip about intuition and messages. 🩷🙏
“A Garden in the Sunshine”(1913) ~ Henri Martin Oil on canvas #art #painting
The President is a well known liar. Willing to lie, brazenly and repeatedly, over something as significant as the outcome of a national election. Anyone working for Trump now must also be willing to join in the “big lie”. Therefore, we cannot trust anything the Admin says. Neither can our allies.
CBS should build into its budget a $16 million/month payment to the Trump administration
Trump and Kennedy did this:
Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes. Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.
This is only 1 % of the total pages is being reported.
“.. A social source in Florida recently told PEOPLE that the president and first lady Melania Trump are renovating the White House in order to make it feel more like their Florida beach club home, Mar-a-Lago.” @people.com people.com/trumps-renov...
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.

"We must always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder." ~ E.B. White, writer
Nature is a home where you will always be welcome.
Thread.
As an Illinois resident, this makes me sick.
Strongly agree.
Damn good. Ready to peacefully protest if needed.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Thank you, my Governor. Jan in St. Charles, Illinois.
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Background from @lawfaremedia.org on the limits of Title 32, Section 502(f): "If a ... president were to ... ask governors to send unfederalized Guard personnel into a nonconsenting state—as opposed to a non-state jurisdiction like D.C.—that deployment would violate the Constitution."
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul urges Chicagoans to protest peacefully. "Do not take the bait," Raoul says.
Pritzker again exhorts the news media to tell the truth about what's happening: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal."
Pritzker: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."
BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
The spray-painted gold ornamentation is spreading like a cancer
"I don’t know if Donald Trump has a personal health problem. But I’m confident he has a political health care problem...Republicans have handed Democrats a powerful agenda: Undo the Medicaid cuts. Keep the health insurance tax credits. Provide vaccines." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Friends, rallying with 1000s of people in our town on Labor Day was so invigorating! But, do you know the scary thing? We have to have a lot of guards wearing bright yellow vests, to keep moving us back from the roadway because people hate us so much for our politics, that they might kill us. Trump.
Trump using military troops on domestic soil has been ruled illegal by a judge- I’m shocked! The real question with Trump is always: Will he comply with the judge’s orders, or flagrantly disregard them?
Wishing you the time to find tranquility, prayer, stillness, relaxation, and peace this week. Seek it in whatever way that you can, away from this noisy world. It’s a challenge. However, answers can be found in these quiet times. Be still and know that I am God ~Psalm 46:10
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
Nearly 3K people in St. Charles, IL for #solidarityseptember standing up for WORKERS — not billionaires — this Labor Day! Thank you for standing together @foxvalleyrising.bsky.social #foxvalleyactivists & our many partners/supporters. #wecanleadchange @maddow.msnbc.com @meidastouch.com
Facebook group in your county? Indivisible? We can lead change group? Facebook groups help get the word out. Our rally today in a far Chicago suburb had 2500 people.
It was that so many people did not want a mandate to get the vaccine. They wanted to choose what to do for themselves. They resented workplaces and schools saying that they had to get the “jab”. They WILL not be told what to do. They didn’t care about protecting others. They didn’t care. 🤷♀️
I joined several thousand people for a Labor Day rally in my town of St. Charles, Illinois! Hope @maddow.msnbc.com reports on all the rallies across the country today! P.S. My hairy Trump sign was a blast to make.
Welcome September! 💛🧡🤎🍁
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
"May God give you moments of replenishment that refresh your soul and renew your perspective." ~ Susie Larson …..first Fall colors are starting in Illinois 🍂
This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
🦋 Trump: “First of its kind pilot program” in cooperation with Guatemala's govmt to repatriate refugee children - quietly in the night Latest: Children are sitting on the tarmac in El Paso as US District Judge Sooknanan (Biden) blocks deportation of 600; some on a flight that had to be returned 🦋
Beautiful 73 degree day in northern Illinois! What we love about the state after moving back here from Florida 9 years ago, is all the Forest Preserve lands with trails that are mowed. Absolutely beautiful. Btw, no filter. Technicolor.
Millions of people make up the beautiful tapestry that is the United States of America.
